A Severe ArraIgnment.
New York Tribune


President Cleveland has removed. SUSPEND.
cd and called for designations Of more public
officials and more officials of admitted worth
and fitness, than any other President in Am.
erican history. Even Andrew johnson
when he betrayed the party by which he was
elected, and strove to break it down by use
OF his patronage, made fewer changes in two
years than President Cleveland has made.
An unavoidable consequence of such haste
in selecting $4,000 men untried in public SER
vice is that many unworthy persons have
been chosen, but the number of mistakes by
President Cleveland is surprising, and many
are peculiarly offensive. A hardened perpe-
traitor of election frauds, the tool of most
INSCRIPTIONS manager, was deliberately
made appointment clerk of the treasury af-
ter volumes of protestant evidence had been
placed before the President by honest DOM
ocrats. A vilifer of Lincoln was made PEN
sion clerk, and a scarf pin from the skull of
a Union soldier is daily worn by an officer
in one of the departments. Commissions
are given to many conyicts, and to some per-
sons who are in jail when appointed. Judges
are appointed who know nothing of law, and
others who are swindlers, and a land shark
Is made chief justice of territory. The few

cases is that the President appointed in snife

duties on Canadian fish, sacrifices the inter-
ests of American fishers at the suggestion of
British minister, and fails to protect by use
of powers intrusted to him American vessels,
of which scores are wrOngfully seized. But
in hot haste, and without law, he demands
instant release of citizen imprisoned by a
Mexican state, for an offense which proves
to have been committed ON Mexican SOIL
He negotiates an extradition treaty which in
effect would surrender the time-hOnored
American principle respecting the trial of
persons charged with political Offenses. The
President refuses to use retaliatory pewer
entrusted to him by congress for defense of
American fishers, but the secretary nearly
defeats q broader act to the same end by in
sisting that still larger apd unreasonable
powers should be granted.
me domestic administration has been mar
ked by greater scandals than any other for
many years. Other administrations have
been quick to cut off offending officials; the
republican party never failed to expose and
punish the misconduct of Republicans in
oihce. When secretary was charged with
Fronting to small extent by purchasing Of
lndlan stores, there was race between the
secretary and the house, the secretary to re-
sign before Republican house could impeach
him. But President Cleveland keeps in his
cabinet an attorney general proved guilty of
p0cketing considerable sums gained by use
of his official name in aid of job by which
many innocent persons were deceived to
Cnelr l0SSs tne entlTe power OIL the govern
ment is exerted to shield him, and the emil
nent attorneys are employed, at cost of
$4,000 or more from the treasury, to bring
in the aid of his speculation suit in the
name of the government, and that suit dis
gracefully failed. The Indian bureau is de-
tected in giving trade licenses to persons
who use them to extort money from honest
persons, and are backed by the bureau even
to the expulsion and ruin of traders who
refuse. The navy department drives into
bankruptcy the most eminent ship-bulder
by abuse of power and wrongful conceal
ment of fact which would have forced Re-
pablican secretary out of Office in short or
der. 1t buys at great cost plans for naval
vessels from Great Britain which proved i'm
perfect, and allows naval officers to act as
agents for foreign contractors.
Behind all these scandals there runs the
constant and unhlushing use of the public
service for partisan ends. The breaking down

object of ridicule to the party in power, the
selection of party hack and campaign mani
2ger TO play the role Of George William Cnr-
It's and Dorman B. Eaton as chief of the COM
mission, the use of navy yards and navy
vessels to carry elections, and the open ac-

ventions and managing elections, are con-
spicious features Of this administration.

OF anything worthy Of remembrance that his
party had done in the last two years, of any

they shall give the testimony to the public.

OF an oath which no Mormon polygamist can
take without committing perjury. The Nor

to take the bull by the horns and make the
false oath. Last Monday ten out of twelve
jurors subscribed to it, and at the municipal
election in Brigham City on the same day the
Hormons generally did the same, and their
tlcket was elected by large majority.
